ID: 42417 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: b dot mosher at podshow dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Warning Operating System: CentOS 4 PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Autoconf 2.59 works for most stuff, but without that cvs clean call things might brake, version 2.13 works better... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-24 18:24:14] b dot mosher at podshow dot com Description: ------------ When running buildconf on the 5.2.3 release sources, it complains that I'm not using autoconf 2.13. I am using 2.59 which shouldn't trigger the warning from what I can gather in the OK message right before the warning. The warning advises downgrading autoconf severely. If autoconf truly is using buggy cache code in 2.59, please advise. However this warning has been generated since at least PHP 4.3x (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34328 and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33922&edit=2 which don't hve satisfactory solutions for the spurious warning) Reproduce code: --------------- [b.mosher@foo:~/php-5.2.3]$ ./buildconf --force Forcing buildconf using default Zend directory buildconf: checking installation... buildconf: autoconf version 2.59 (ok) buildconf: Your version of autoconf likely contains buggy cache code. Running cvsclean for you. To avoid this, install autoconf-2.13. [b.mosher@foo:~/php-5.2.3] Expected result: ---------------- "buildconf: autoconf version 2.59 (ok)" should be the last message. Actual result: -------------- see reproduce section ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42417&edit=1
